Latest on MJJC

"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

A few seconds of advertisement for the biopic was shown at the CinemaCon preview event. I take this to mean there will be some type of preview/footage/discussion of the film on April 1st (tuesday). It almost definitely suggests that the film has not been delayed.

Edit: My apologies, apparently this wasn't a CinemaCon event and wasn't from Lionsgate. It was from an independent theater that are advertising upcoming movies of this year. Either way though, you would think they must of gotten info from Lionsgate that the film IS indeed coming out this year. So it's looking hopeful.

Keep in mind this is not an official poster, it is a fan made one from reddit, don't let that discourage you as other movies have fan made posters used as they themselves also don't have any official posters.

Now what this means is that the 'Michael' biopic is definitely coming out this year and will not be delayed, this is due to Lionsgate having to agree that the movie is definitely coming out this year to be enlisted on the '2025 Film Slate'

We shall wait and see what information we get tomorrow!

Interesting that it doesn't include the Wicked: For Good poster which has already been released. :unsure:

Anyway, that's irrelevant, I guess!

5m 12s - brief comment from John Campea ... his team will be live-streaming coverage of the Lionsgate presentation at CinemaCon.

This is definitely fake but it made me think how cool it would be if they used orchestral versions of MJ's songs for some of the movie's soundtrack. Doesn't have to be the songs as a whole specifically, just throw in some notes here and there that'll slowly surprise the viewer and make them go "wait, this is actually Human Nature!" or "this is Billie Jean!".

I’d like them to use MJ’s classical compositions made in 2009 to be used. We know there was at least two that were pretty complete

a)
The ‚Wicked For Good‘ Poster is way down in the middle..

b)
Campea will do a recap after each studio’s presentation via a live-stream. He won’t be live-streaming the presentations.

That's me being a dunce! I did see it but didn't clock it as a placeholder image. There seems to be a fully illustrated one (official, afaik) already online.

Thank you. I should have expressed myself more clearly.

Love this idea! :)
 
All the excitement for nothing!

Not a single thing , they have even shown trailers for films that come out after Michael.

I suspect the rumours about delays are true
 
Hate to say, but not presenting anything visual to preview/promote sounds like it'll be a 2026 release. Unless we're doing a rapid promotion run.
 
Lionsgate said they are announcing things about the biopic in the next couple of weeks, I have a theory on why they decided not to promote at CinemaCon, and the same reason they did not want to promote at the Superbowl, because there are too many things that put the attention off the biopic, I genuinely believe Lionsgate has been waiting for the right time to promote the biopic by itself without any other movies being shared/announced at the same time
If they really were going to delay the biopic they would not submit it in the 2025 film slot at CinemaCon, now whatever this next announcement is in a couple weeks will determine everything.
 
Considering post production started over a year ago…..yet all we have is a single photograph.

This movie is 100% delayed until 2026, that bloody reshoot about the entire 3rd act must have been true ffs

I am choosing to believe in this as well.

I mean, even if it was going to be delayed, they would have already done that. Why keep on the expectation and not just come out and say "hey, it's 2026 now"?

However, considering the time, it would be kind of weird not to get ANY type of promotion/trailer/photos in April. We're getting close.
 
Gonna take a hit off this premium-grade copium and say they're probably not showing anything because the marketing campaign is starting off with a teaser later this month. Why show a trailer you're going to publicly release in a few weeks anyway?
